Was it a decision of the UK or the decision of the border entry point. Border guards have authority to refuse entry to any foreigner for any reason. Not so for UK citizens, even if they were involved in ISIS.

Canadians have been refused entry to the US because they mentioned online using marijuana 30 years ago.

Actually a border guard doesn't even need a reason to refuse a foreigner entry.

Yeah, I said that. Also, you're wrong. They have an act that allows them to detain anyone for reasons relating to terrorism. Instead of detaining these individuals and throwing them in jail, they give these terrorists a place to stay and try to counsel them away from Islamic terrorism.

In the video, Lauren says that she was asked how she feels about cars being used as weapons against groups of people and she dared to bring up the fact that these are done, 99% of the time, by a certain religion of peace and that set the cops off. They were also very concerned with how religious she is, because I guess Christianity is the worst.

This is a country that has, on several occasions, looked the other way while older Pakistani men were raping young white girls because not seeming racist was more important than preventing mass rape. The country, from an outside perspective, is completely fucked.

Probably some bias in this post. No the UK is not fucked. Even if its fucked, its certainly less fucked than the USA.

I said you can't refuse a citizen entry. You say I am wrong? Where am I wrong?

The border guard likely also looked up the particulars of Ms. Southern and did not like what was there.

If someone has extreme views, either on the left or right, there's a chance you will be refused entry to a foreign country.

That's the point. Lauren Southern does not have extreme views, by any measure. She just did some pretty fascinating work in SA, digging into the racial issues there. The problem is that if you're deemed "right wing" you're also a neo-nazi, alt-right and white nationalist. This is my issue, turning away people for wrongthink. We all laugh at UAE when they turn people away on suspicion of witchcraft, is this really any better?

I don't know whether the UK can refuse to allow a citizen to enter or not, but what they can do is incarcerate them, or at the very least not lose track of where they are (as they've done).

Okay. I suggest you grow up and learn a few things about how people actually work, because you really have no idea what you're talking about. Maybe go make friends with some people who see the world differently than you Seriously, you sound no better than a religious nutcase.
